  • A Summer’s Tale (Éric Rohmer 1996) w/ Nathan Cowles

    A Summer’s Tale (Éric Rohmer 1996) w/ Nathan Cowles
    May 6 2024
    Felicia is joined by Nathan Cowles to discuss Éric Rohmer’s first film in his A Tale of Four Season series, about a man being tossed around by three different women in A Summer’s Tale (1996). We chat about Rohmer’s way of writing women, his choice to work with a woman cinematographer and how that lends to a unique gaze behind the camera. Along with the importance of the script and the quiet moments that expose the protagonists inner truth. This is the Rohmer series opener and I’m beyond excited to share this series with you - we’ve got four great guests to cover a wide range of Rohmer’s work this month - I hope you follow along! Send us your thoughts on the episode - are you satisfied with our protagonist’s ending?

  • Tokyo Story (Yasujirō Ozu 1953) w/ Peter Merriman

    Tokyo Story (Yasujirō Ozu 1953) w/ Peter Merriman
    Apr 29 2024
    Felicia is joined by Peter Merriman to discuss Yasujirō Ozu’s tale about aging parents and their relationships with their older children, in Tokyo Story (1953). We chat about why Japan original didn’t think they could market this film in North America, and how it eventually became one of the most universal film texts that audiences continue to relate to. This mark’s the end of the Ozu series, it was an honour and beautiful experience revisiting and watching some of his films for the first time in preparation. There is an Ozu film out there for everyone, and I hope you find it and it changes your life. Send us your thoughts on the episode - do you prefer Ozu’s colour or black and white film era?
